Amoeblog posts marked with reissues.Reissue Report: Metallica Reissues Early Demo Tape 'No Life 'Til Leather'<p><img style="width: 300px; height: 300px; border-width: 3px; border-style: solid; margin: 8px; float: left;" src="http://www.amoeba.com/admin/uploads/blog/Billy_Gil/metallicatape.jpg" alt="metallica no life til leather tape" />As <strong>Record Store Day </strong>looms on April 18, reports of what to expect should start trickling in, along with the official announce of RSD titles next Tuesday March 10 at Rough Trade in New York.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.amoeba.com/music/artist/144242"><strong>Metallica </strong></a>has announced they&rsquo;ll reissue their debut demo tape from 1982,<em> No Life &lsquo;Til Leather</em>, as a limited edition cassette April 18. Expanded CD and LP editions will come in the summer, the band told <em><a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/metallica-kick-off-reissue-project-with-no-life-til-leather-cassette-20150303?utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_content=daily&amp;utm_campaign=030315_16&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;ea=YmlsbHkuZ2lsQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ==">Rolling Stone</a></em>.</p>
<p><em>No Life &lsquo;Til Leather </em>saw Metallica in their early incarnation of singer/guitarist James Hetfield, lead guitarist Dave Mustaine (who would go on to play in <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amoeba.com/music/artist/144214"><strong>Megadeth</strong></a>), bassist Ron McGovney and drummer Lars Ulrich. Just one song from the tape, &ldquo;The Mechanix,&rdquo; didn&rsquo;t make it to their debut LP, <em>Kill 'Em All</em>, and the tape maintained its cache as an underground tape traded amongst metal fans. The expanded versions will contain more demos from the era, but there&rsquo;s no word yet on which tracks those will be.</p>
<p>Metallica also has more reissues planned, as the band owns its own remasters and runs its own label now, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amoeba.com/music/label/72196/#/"><strong>Blackened Recordings</strong></a>.</p>

During this time they released a landmark set of the <a href="http://www.amoeba.com/music/artist/142668"><strong>Beethoven</strong></a> Symphonies conducted by the renowned <a href="http://www.amoeba.com/music/artist/26421"><strong>Herbert von Karajan</strong></a> and the Berlin Philharmonic. Karajan was to record most of the standard repertoire multiple times for Deutsche Gramophone. After more than 50 years, the Beethoven set is stiil a best seller. DG also developed a sister label callec <strong>Arkiv</strong> that specialized in early music from Medieval chants up until the Baroque period with painstaking scholarship in their liner notes, presentation, and performances. Over the years they developed iconic artists like conductors <a href="http://www.amoeba.com/music/artist/30476"><strong>Claudio Abbado</strong></a>, <a href="http://www.amoeba.com/music/artist/23357"><strong>Carlos Kleiber</strong></a>, instrumentalists like <strong>Marizio Pollini</strong>, <a href="http://www.amoeba.com/music/artist/26431"><strong>Martha Argerich</strong></a>, and <a href="http://www.amoeba.com/music/artist/26545"><strong>Anne-Sophie Mutter</strong></a>. They also cemented the reputation of artists like conductors <a href="http://www.amoeba.com/music/artist/29392"><strong>Rafael Kubelik</strong></a>, <a href="http://www.amoeba.com/music/artist/27808"><strong>Eugen Jochum</strong></a>, <a href="http://www.amoeba.com/music/artist/30730"><strong>Karl Bohm</strong></a>, and pianists <a href="http://www.amoeba.com/music/artist/22514"><strong>Wilhelm Kempff</strong></a> and <a href="http://www.amoeba.com/music/artist/25827"><strong>Emil Gilels</strong></a>.<br />
<br />
In 1997, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Deutsche Grammophon, they launched a mid-price series of CDs called THE ORIGINALS. This series offers the original artwork often with significantly more music then the original release. A prime example is Carlos Kleiber&rsquo;s magnificent performances of Beethoven&rsquo;s <em>Fifth</em> and <em>Seventh</em> (0289447400), which were originally on two separate LP&rsquo;S but are on 1 ORIGINALS CD.<br />
